Feb. 25th, 2010 10:20 pmI emailed the editor of the inflight magazine for Air Aisa. Just a quick note asking if they were interested in real stories of adventures such as biking in Malaysia and Thailand. Never heard a word back, so I guess not. I dont know what market these airlines are pitching their stories to. Its always some story on a day spa for $1000, or a 5 star hotel. Why not write stories that speak to the majority of us slobs back in the cheap seats. I also emailed two businesses in K/L about ad space on the map. one hotel I was just asking if I had the right contact, never heard back. The other said nice idea not the right time, emailed again to ask why it wasn't the right time. Never heard back. Humm i guess I can't expect everyone to line up to sign on to advertise in the map, especially when I don't have a product yet. As far as the in flight mag, i'm going to use my leverage with the ticket screw up with Virgin to see if they will give me a shot at a feature.
I tried to download Illustrator today and after about 30 mins it shut down my internet because Id gone over my download limit. Good that I only had 3 days left on the account anyway. SO Ive signed up again. Just have to be careful with my uploads and downloads, although it lasted pretty good. Turns out I have 2000mig Spoke to a guy at an internet cafe in town and he thinks they can download illustrator in about 45min, so it will only cost me $3. Going to try that tomorrow. Id really like to get started on learning that program.
I didn't get out of the van almost all day yesterday. Always seems like time flys when im on the internet. Today it started raining so it was an easy decision not to go to Taupo yet again. I did finally get my ass in gear and go run and swim. This rest week is just what I needed. I still have some muscle pains in my legs, but once round the lake felt so much easier and after i swam straight out non stop for maybe 15 mins.
Part of what I was working on was finding out how feasable it would be for me to buy a bicycle in Vietman to ride around and over to Cambodia. Turns out its very much do able. So there we have a pretty solid plan now. And even an approximate route.
